Investor read
This is a 8-bed/4.0-bath multifamily listed at $199k.
At list price, monthly cash flow is $3k ($30k/yr) — positive.
The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
Meets the 1% rule at list price ($5k rent vs $199k).
Only 3 days on market — expect competitive offers; lowballing is unlikely to land.
Local home prices are declining (-3.0%/yr); year-one equity from $1k of loan paydown is wiped out by about $6k of value loss. Plan a longer hold.
Location reads 65/100 on livability (#127 in AL) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: cost of living A+, housing A+; Watch: health & safety D, crime F, amenities F.
Enterprise City (town): math 40% / reading 60% proficiency, ranked #12 of 129 in AL (top 9%) — acceptable for families but not a draw, mixed tenant base, ~2y average lease.
Zoned schools: Hillcrest Elementary School (math 52% / reading 66%, grade B-, #67 of 627 statewide, top 11%, 760 students, 54% FRL); Dauphin Junior High School (math 42% / reading 68%, grade B-, #17 of 257 statewide, top 7%, 500 students, 39% FRL); Enterprise High School (math 34% / reading 37%, grade F, #45 of 305 statewide, top 14%, 2,117 students, 44% FRL).
Market conditions: Rents rising (+3.9%/yr); 441 active listings in the ZIP; solid renter incomes; 137 units permitted in Coffee County in 2024 (0 in 5+ unit buildings).
2 sale attempts since 19y ago with the ask held roughly flat each time — persistent listings suggest the price (not the market) is what's stuck; bring a comps-based counter.
Current owner paid $160k; 24% above their basis — modest negotiation headroom, anchor on the comps not their cost.
At projected returns (-3.0% appreciation + 3.9% rent growth), your $56k cash investment doubles in ~3 years — after that, you're playing with house money.
Climate carrying-cost: severe wind risk, 99% chance of damaging wind over 30y; extreme-heat days projected 7→19/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Cap rate 21.5% vs local median 4.2% in Enterprise — top-decile yield for the area; either an underpriced asset or a hidden risk that comps aren't pricing in. Stress-test before assuming the spread holds.
At $4,738/mo this rent would consume 75% of the median local household income ($76k/yr) (locally 1126% of renters already pay >50% of income on rent) — very limited rent-growth headroom before tenants either downsize or default.
Questions for listing agent
Built in 1979 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
Crime grade is F in this area — have there been break-ins, vandalism, or insurance claims at this property in the last 3 years? What carrier currently insures it and at what premium?
What's the average days-on-market for RENTAL listings here right now (not sales)? A rising rental-DOM trend means longer vacancies and softer asking-rent achievability than the comps imply.
What's the recent tenant-quality profile in this submarket — average credit score on applications, eviction rate, late-payment / NSF rate, and stable-employment percentage? A property-management company in the area should have these aggregated.
How much new apartment / multifamily construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply (>2% of stock underway) typically softens rents 12–24 months out; light construction supports rent growth.
